Replaced fuel filter, distributor cap and rotor. Getting good spark and fuel pressure at 58 lbs. Sprayed starting fluid in intake and didn’t do much.

Good morning,

Pressure is barely within specs.

The next thing I would do is a compression test to be sure there no internal engine issue.

Are there any codes stored?

Compression is good and there are no codes. Vehicle was running good before parked for 4 months.

What is the compression?

Do you have a scan tool to monitor the injectors to see if they are being commanded to allow fuel?
